The FastCAM® System has

been designed to draw, nest

and cut metal as simply and

efficiently as possible. Ease

of use is as important as the

high levels of materials

utilization and optimization

the software provides.

Draw, Path, Nest and pro-

duce NC code from the one

system. Or use with your ex-

isting CAD system for inde-

pendent post processing and

nesting.

Easy Editing & Verification of

geometry combined with one

step nesting makes the

system instantly productive.

FastCAM’s long experience in

heavy plate fabrication

makes the system ideal for

even the largest construction

jobs.

F a s t C A M ® i s u s e d

FastCAM® simulates machine

operation with CNC on screen

file verification displaying

each process by color and line

type. Supports multi process-

es with marking, beveling,

drilling and more. Process

detection from CAD files by

layer.

Marking by Powder, Plasma,

Pen & Mechanical Scribe for

both line & text where

supported by the Controller.

• Realtime Pan & Zoom

• Plot every code move-

FastPLOT™ is included in

the system to enable users

verify or even edit and write

NC code with full graphic

simulation.

Cost jobs showing total

time for each process and

distances as well as net

and gross material utiliza-

tion making it ideal to price

individual parts or entire

nests.

FastPLOTTM will read and

convert existing NC code to

Directly Edit NC code to fine

tune programs prior to

production.

supplied job data in a variety

of file formats. To solve this

problem, FastCAM® will not

only load a range of file

types, it includes a clever

suite of CAD Smart Tools to

fix common problems.

Load and fix DXF, DWG,

DSTV files. Run CAD Clean

ing, marking & beveling.

FastCAM® is a system built

specifically for the high

speed production of line

drawings. CNC needs every

line, arc or entity to be pre-

cise, clean connected geom-

etry.

By comparison, CAD was

designed to put lines on

paper. However today’s

FastPATH™ will completely

analyze a nest and deter-

no matter how deeply nest-

Entries and exits are added

and the software then

optimizes the process se-
